Tips & strategy
- Free the tiles that unlock the most underneath first — work the ends of long rows.
- Tiles stacked on top block two tiles at once, so clear the upper layers early.
- You can reach a dead end even on a solvable board; Shuffle is there to rescue the run.
- Larger layouts aren't harder to match, just longer — pace yourself for the fastest time.
Frequently asked questions
Can every board be cleared?
Yes. Each board is generated by reverse-solving — laying matched pairs down in a legal order — so a full solution always exists, though careless matches can still strand you.
What makes a tile playable?
A tile is free when no tile covers it from above and at least one of its left or right neighbours is missing.
